WORKERS at the Royal Academy (RA) have delivered a vote of no confidence in their leadership as the institution presses ahead with a second round of mass redundancies in five years.

In a vote organised by members of the Independent Workers Union of Great Britain (IWGB), 78 per cent of staff said they had no confidence in the RA’s president, interim chief executive and treasurer to manage the restructuring.

Just 2.5 per cent expressed confidence.
